padraig:I can see where it'd be a good idea in a hotel lobby, for instance : you've got your Christmas decorations, but it doesn't take any floor space, plus it is safe from vandals.

That's a really sad Christmas. You're stuck in a hotel, with a Christmas tree that has to be hung upside down from the ceiling like a dead shark because you're staying in such a shiatty place that vandals will sneak in and destroy the tree -- and maybe you and your loved ones -- during the dark of night.

I mean, shiat. I'll spend $20 more to stay at a Motel 6 where someone overdosed downstairs as long as the coroner is polite enough to wait until 8 or 9 am to get started.

This is the same kind of "creativity" that goes into certain manifestations of "art": over-sized everyday objects, upside-down everyday objects, everyday objects seeming to be half-buried in the ground, etc. It's also the same kind of "creativity" that goes into reverse baby names. And if you can't tell from my use of quotes, what I mean is that it's a very simple-minded creativity.
